Shaw made $1.5M? Wasn’t an an milb deal?

Interesting mice with Cannon. Didn’t see that coming this quickly.

Ehh. I'd still roll with the AV, but he's certainly earned the skepticism lately.

This. s%*# can Pedro. Promote Jirschele to manager.

Just because everyone likes to point out when former Sox do well with their new team, especially Burger. After getting out of the gate quickly Burger is down to an 86 wRC+ (.228/.281/.421) and quickly fell back to 0 fWAR. He has started as many games at 1B as 3B, and is now on the IL with another core/oblique injury. I wish Jake well, but will again repeat that he's not a guy that is going to haunt the Sox long term.

I think you basically need to play Benintendi mostly everyday against RHP, at least for now. Sox still owe him like $65M. Absolutely have to try to find a serviceable player out of him, especially in a lost season.

Yeah, forgot he was on milb IL, so that makes that a bit more unlikely but not impossible. Maybe Leone then. Would be surprised to see them 60 day Robert.

He hasn’t. And he shouldn’t. But I’d rather play Sheets out there than 30 somethings that have no chance of returning anything meaningful even if they perform well in a season where we’re already 2-13. It’s not like Grossman plays good defense - dude dropped a ball both you and I would have caught with ease today.

Meh. I’d rather have none of them and just let Fletcher, Colas and DeLoach soak up as many ABs as possible. You still have to play Benintendi for obvious reasons and and Robert will be back in 5-6 weeks. Pham, Grossman and pillar accomplish nothing at this point.

I doubt it. Getz literally said Friday that Robert may only miss 6 weeks. Seems unlikely to make that statement and then guarantee 8 weeks 72 hours later. Davis Martin 60 day is my guess. And good for the Sox to secure the extra year. 32 starts of a potentially decent to good SP in a potentially competitive season >>>>> 2 more starts in a punted one.

Seems like as good of a time as any…just get this twat out of here.

With a 1.7 whip. I like Bummer, and I think the Sox did fine on that trade. Soroka has been disappointing but Soroka, Schuster and Shewmake alone were a very reasonable gamble.

OMG

Grossman should be DFA tonight. There is simply no reason for him to take ABs away from younger players.

These guys blow but I’ll take the under.

Another run on Maldonados tab. Guy fu*kin blows

I think the idea was that they didn’t know the extent of Yoans injury until the next day and Colas was the only healthy position player on the 40 man. But yeah…we’re on same page that Colas should have just stayed.

They probably don’t want to lose Mendick and don’t really care if they have to DFA Remillard again in a few days when Eloy is ready.

Also shift Yoan to 60 day.

If we could see the following lineup by August, it could be mildly interesting to watch. C : Lee, 1B: AV, 2B: Sosa, SS: Montgomery, 3B: Ramos, LF: Beni, CF: Robert, RF: Colas/Fletcher, DH: Eloy/Sheets BN: Sheets, Fletcher/Colas, Stassi/Maldonado, Shewmake/Lopez

Hopefully. He should be playing RF every single day to be honest. There is zero good reason to play Grossman and/or Pillar over Colas at this point. If the Sox had started 8-4 or something, I could see the arguement. I was fine with Colas starting in AAA this year. But considering the injuries and state of the roster, Colas should absolutely be playing. Even if he boned Pedro's daughter, or whatever he did to get deep in the doghouse.

He got optioned. Its listed on Sox website under transactions.

Clearly a Getz fanboy.

Why? Guy has hardly played in Charlotte, routinely getting pulled mid game and not hitting at all.
